Sand Hutton in the Domesday Book (1086)
The settlement of Sand Hutton is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Bulford in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Sand Hutton at 6 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Sand Hutton supported a recorded population of 5 smallholders, 108 freemanmen, working 27 ploughs between them.
By 1086 Sand Hutton was worth 23.25 shillings, up from 9 shillings before the Conquest – a sign this community came through the Conquest without being ruined.
The survey lists 2 manors at Sand Hutton under different lords. Splitting a single settlement between multiple tenants was common across the North – Saxon estates broken up and handed to William’s followers after 1066.
